Description

Shojoji’s Yakushido Hall enshrines a National Treasure Yakushi Triad. Also known as the Aizu Central Yakushido, the hall preserves the substantial presence of early-Heian Buddhist sculpture in Tohoku. Yakushi Nyorai at the center is flanked by Nikko and Gakko Bosatsu, combining prayers for relief from illness and suffering with the power of ancient Buddhism rooted in the region. Advance reservations are required for viewing the Buddhist images, allowing visitors to encounter the depth of Aizu Buddhist culture in a quiet setting.
